I have decided on a BM in Music Ed because of my interest in teaching and conducting, and because I am not interested in a performance career. Luckily, all three of my final schools have outstanding music education programs. I have been told that Ithaca excels at secondary instrument instruction, while Eastman is known for research and pedagogy.

My goal for graduate school was to get a position as a teaching assistant within a low-brass studio or in conducting, depending on where my undergraduate takes me. I hadn’t considered GPA in this equation, though. I wonder if that plays a big role in studio-type TA jobs as well.
